Senor Senna - The Supremo Uno

This documentary is a very poignant melodrama which portrays the philosophical side of Senna. His belief in GOD and the blatant politics in F1 is brilliantly portrayed. The see-saw battles he had with Prost are riveting. But perhaps the most touching aspect of the documentary are his facial close-up shots just before the San Marino, Imola GP.

The story of the greatest rivalry in the history of F1 was marvelously detailed in this movie.

This documentary is, perhaps, essential content for any F1 fan -- not just for the story of Senna's own career but also for a lot of background information about the F1 heritage and the cars of the late 80's and early 90's.

I had watched the theatrical version of this documentary earlier but the extended version on Blu-Ray has over 60 minutes of additional interviews interspersed throughout, which add a lot more context.

This would have been an easy 5-star but -1 star for low video quality ...

If you are a F1 buff, this movie is the holy grail. The politics of the sport and the struggle which we cannot see in the races telecast are shown. His struggle with the FIA and team owners is portrayed very well. The end actually makes you very emotional.
